Description

PowerTutor is a diagnostic tool for analyzing system and app power usage.

The app runs on most Android phones though is designed to give accurate numbers on the G1, G2, and Nexus One phones. It runs in the background and logs data on power utilization for each app. The info is summarized in an intuitive user interface.

Used to be great Great tool to help you figure out what app is power consuming. *Also still useful to see if the screen resolution app u have is really lowering the power consumption or simply adding a layer of shade. Beside that, other apps will help you troubleshoot your battery issues. Why does the app consume so much power? Not much a problem when u need answers. Why was the app dropped? No updates in 3 years. This used to be my tool of choice for real time power management. I'll still refer to it when in need.

Works great. Works great on my Nexus 7 and Galaxy S3. It does use battery so I wouldn't recommend running it all the time, but very helpful when you want to see what other apps use a lot of power. I've deleted apps that I really didn't need once I used this app to see what battery hogs they were.

Inaccurate. Hasn't been updated in two years Good idea, but no longer produces accurate data. "App Tune-up Kit" is much better at system power estimation.

A useful app Thanks for developing this app. This is the most accurate app I've ever launched for battery consumption. But it's regret that wifi chart doesn't work. I hope you will continue to develop and improve this useful app.

Don't listen to the shills who slam PowerTutor. Start PT then Start Profiler and return to desktop without closing PowerTutor. Return to PowerTutor later for accurate analysis of what exactly is hoggin your battery and jettison the rude apps that want to take control of your device to the bit bucket. PowerTutor rules. Using it I've tuned my devices for great battery use.

Looks great, outdated software This would be 5 stars easily but wifi stats don't work with marshmallow 6.0.1. Bluetooth isn't accounted for either. Wish the dev who made this would pick the code back up...

Good, but could be better! The only pitfall is not working on all types of phones; I'm running it on a high-end development device from HTC, which many components (like WiFi, GPS, 3G) does not work on it. It could be best if it was similar to Trepn. For instance the graph could not be save, but a very primary log file! But still a good job :)

Avoid I must admit the idea sounded great, but my GS3 is not supported. I cannot see anything beyond screen and CPU use and they vanish after a while too. All numbers to zero. It slows down the phone, eats the battery and completely ruined my home screens.

Galaxy Note GT-N7000 w/RocketRom10 & Speedmod-13. A nice little app. But the WiFi power graph does not work. It gives 0 all the time, regardless of WiFi state, whether it's ON or OFF. Also the GPS and Audio, don't show any values in the graph (when used). Only Total, CPU & 3G graphs work.
